Talk comments
A good update on PHPUnit. I'll need to go through my notes and check out some of the other tools that Volker mentioned. Sorry about the tech problems with the slides.
This is not a criticism of the speaker but it seemed like all of the heat from the main conference room had been pumped into here.
A good overview of the new features of PHP 5.4. With code examples I find boring real world use classes more helpful than the slightly surreal ones presented here. The performance stats were interesting.
Great keynote, think this is an area whose time has come, in fact probably long overdue.
Very good talk
A nice talk with a key message for everyone involved in open source. Michelangelo is an inspiration by himself and it was great to hear him talk about something he is so passionate about.
The talk could have done with maybe a bit more structure, that might have helped keep the drive and focus going the whole way through, but on the whole it was a great way to end a wonderful community conference.
A great talk given by a great presenter. Who knew application logging could be so interesting? I've taken a lot away from this talk.
A great talk to remind us all of best practices and what we should be remembering when we write and review code.
It was a well structured and presented talk, and Harrie clearly knows and is passionate about his subject.
A great talk with some very interesting points and entertaining interludes to keep everyone going that early on a Sunday morning.
John's a great speaker with a confident yet relaxed style, and it was really interesting to here how the BBC have dealt with problems that we are also currently facing at work
I'm not sure I knew quite what I was letting myself in for by attending this talk, but it covered a great array of tools and techniques that could be used to solve various problems you might come across when dealing with making your data accessible.
I can't pretend to have followed all of it and Ian did go quite fast at points, but it was a good if flying introduction to tools and issues you might have to consider in your own application
I liked the "tag team" style - the change of voice works well to keep the listener's attention. I'm sure it's good from the speakers' confidence to have another person on stage. I'll bear this in mind the next time I present.
As for the content I guess I'm pretty much sold on the open source concept already but I'll try to do better at boosting my presence in forums, blog more and leave feedback for others.
I liked the anecdotes!
